I personally would never trust my life to a Taurus firearm.

Can you name any Police Departments or Military(outside perhaps Brazil where they're made) that trusts their lives to them?

Can you name any well respected, reputable firearm experts or instructors or authorities that carries a Taurus and would trust their life to one?

When I called Taurus customer service, they told me not to dry-fire their revolvers because the firing pin could break. That doesn't speak well of the quality of the metal they use. Anytime I've handled a Taurus, they simply look and feel cheaply made.
